In this special International Women’s Day episode of Making Connections, guest host Nadia McIntosh explores the evolving role of women in the data centre industry with three inspiring guests: Michelle Wainwright, Operations and Board Director at EkkoSense; Soraya Kashefi, Technical Customer Success Manager at EkkoSense; and Silvija Skinderskyte, PMO Lead at Telehouse.
Together, they discuss the challenges of working in male-dominated environments, from breaking through hiring barriers to navigating leadership dynamics. They also highlight the progress being made, from greater workplace flexibility to the increasing visibility of women in technical roles. The conversation delves into the importance of mentorship, workplace culture and leadership styles, as well as the ongoing impact of unconscious bias.
